ALAMEDA -- For the first time since 2003, the Raiders were shut out of Pro Bowl representation as the NFL's all-star teams were announced Wednesday.

The Raiders (4-11) were one of eight teams to not have a Pro Bowl player, along with St. Louis (7-7-1), Philadelphia (4-11), Carolina (6-9), Jacksonville (2-12), Tennessee (5-10), San Diego (6-9) and Buffalo (5-10).

Kansas City (2-12) is in line to finish with the league's worst record and secure the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft, but still had five Pro Bowlers named.

Perhaps the biggest snub, though, was placekicker Sebastian Janikowski being left off the list and named only as an alternate, though the Raiders would not release what level of alternate he was for the game. Janikowski won the fan vote of the selection process -- coaches and players vote for the other two-thirds of the decision.

Cleveland's Phil Dawson was named the AFC's placekicker and since the Browns will not be playing in the Super Bowl, the only chance for Janikowski to book his trip to Hawaii for the Jan. 27 exhibition would seemingly be for Dawson, a first-time selection, to beg out.

Also, Raiders fullback Marcel Reece was named an alternate, though the level is not known. Baltimore's Vonta Leach is the AFC starter, though the position would open up should the Ravens advance to the Super Bowl.

It is also the first time since 2006 that punter Shane Lechler was not named to the Pro Bowl.

Janikowski, though, was the AFC's special teams player of the months for October and the AFC's special teams player of the week after kicking five field goals in the Raiders' 15-0 defeat of Kansas City on Dec. 16.

He is 31 for 34 on the season, with his three misses coming from 61, 64 and 51 yards, and Janikowski this season has moved into a tie with John Kasay for second place in NFL history for most career field goals of at least 50 yards, with 42 such kicks. Detroit's Jason Hanson, who is in his 21st NFL season and was a rookie in the waning days of the George H. W. Bush Administration, is the all-time leader with 52 field goals of 50-plus yards.

Janikowski has converted 53 in a row from 40 yards or less, last missing inside that marker on Sept. 26, 2010, at Arizona. Plus, on kicks of 40 or more yards, he has converted 19 of his last 24 attempts, missing from 51, 59, 61, 64 and 65 yards.

Janikowski's 57-yarder at the end of the first half on Dec. 16 set a league long for the season, and he co-holds the NFL record of 63 yards, set at Denver in the 2011 season opener.

He has also made 125 straight point-after attempts, last missing on Dec. 14, 2008, against New England.

Dawson, meanwhile, has made 28 of 29 attempts this season, his lone miss a 28-yard attempt that was blocked by the Raiders' Desmond Bryant on Dec. 2.
